MANZIL DUA

BISMILLAH-IR-RAHMAN-IR-RAHI•M
In the name of Allah, Most Beneficient, Most Merciful.

INTRODUCTION
“All praise be to Allah I and peace and blessings be upon His 
messenger r”
The ayaat (verses) of the Qur'an compiled herein are generally known 
as “Manzil”. The elders were particularly punctual in reciting this 
“Manzil” from amongst other du`as and formulas for protection and 
cure. It was customary to make special arrangements for children to 
commit this “Manzil” to memory.
Undoubtedly the ayah of the Qur'an and those du`as that are 
mentioned in the ahadith are more effective and beneficial than the 
wearing of a ta'aweez. In the formula of these amaliyaat (reciting of 
certain ayah and du`as for a particular purpose) preference must be 
given to the Qur'an and ahadith. The noble leader of the Ambiya u, 
Muhammad r, has taught us a du'a for every occasion of our dini
(religious) and dunyawi (worldly) needs, In the experience of the 
Masha'ikh (the scholars) reciting of certain ayaat and du’as for 
particular purposes has also been experienced to be successful.
The reading of the “Manzil” has been confirmed to be extremely 
effective for protection against the evil influence of Jinn, Sihr 
(witchcraft, sorcery etc.) and other evils. These ayaat of the Qur'an 
have also been mentioned with a slight variation in the number of 
ayaat, in the book “Al Qawlul Jameel”, wherein it has also been 
mentioned that there are these thirty three ayah which ward off the 
effects of Sihr (witch-craft), and that they are a protection against the 
Shayatin (devils), thieves and harmful wild beasts.
Whenever anyone suggested the reading of these ayah to a victim, 
they had to either indicate these verses in the respective books or write 
them down, Therefore it was felt that it would simplify this task if these 
ayah were printed separately.
It should be considered, and borne in mind that the effectiveness of 
the recital of these ayaat and du’as as a formula for specific purposes 
depends on the sincerity and; undisturbed and earnest devotion of the 
reader. The effectiveness of the response to du’as is relative to the 
determination of ones conviction and the depth of ones sincerity with 
which du’as are made. Allah's I names and His true and holy words 
hold great barakah, (unseen, blessings benefits and advantages of 
abundant value from Allah I).
“And Allah I is the One who grants strength 
to comply and adhere,(to His will and command)”.
